they're going after bakery delivery vans. of course there isn't enough money to deliver flour. they had a severe shortage of diesel fuel. and the list sort of goes on. what can we do about, is there something we can do about this specifically? i mean if we don't want to get involved in, you know, providing weapons, is thereouldt the food situation? >> well, the world food programme in particular has the capacity, and if they don't have enough money they could be given money. the united nations can provide, up to a point, a certain amount of protection for the people that go in. one of the most important things however is to take steps to show the assad regime they're not going to be allowed to continue this forever. the first thing i would do is go to nato and impose a no-fly zone, so at least their aircraft are taken out of the game. if one wants to go beyond that, to use nato aircraft against syrian artillery. we know how to do that. we did it against the ser serbian-backed forces in bosnia almost two decades ago. but we have to demonstrate to assad he can not keep this up. b
